Mayor of Landsberg visits EGGER Druck + Medien

Wednesday 18. December 2019 - The Lord Mayor of Landsberg, Mathias Neuner, and the business promoter André Köhn visited the premium printing company EGGER Druck + Medien last Thursday. The occasion was the two most recent awards for the family print shop and packaging printer of the year. Together with the brothers and managing directors Josef and Xaver Egger as well as Franz Xaver Egger senior they discussed the business location Landsberg am Lech, the printing industry, family-friendly companies, the necessity of innovative thinking and acting and the difficulty to win trainees for productive work.

Everyone agreed that there are many impressive companies in Landsberg am Lech. Many stand out from others by reacting strategically and quickly to economic and technical changes and thus preparing themselves for the future. Just as EGGER did a few years ago.
In times of digitalisation, many small and medium-sized printing companies are still disappearing from the market. A family print shop that after 145 years on the printing market not only exists, but is successful is therefore a rarity. The reason for this success was also EGGER’s strategic realignment and absolute specialisation in a niche market: high-quality packaging solutions in small to medium runs.
Together with many other companies in Landsberg, there is a shortage of renewable specialists. “Especially trainees for jobs in production are hard to find”, explains Xaver Egger. “It is particularly difficult to imagine the various occupations in the printing industry. But as soon as someone has walked through our production process, they are usually absolutely thrilled.
